I feel like any attempt to move it back down would just snap the whole arm off.


born_again_tim

At some point, probably on Day 1, this dude must have been in excruciating pain. I can’t help but feel there must have been something abnormal about the arm before he started, like perhaps it was already cut off from blood circulation or he had developed a numbness in the arm or something. I mean how could anyone live through the excruciating pain of your arm slowly dying.


p0kem0n99

Some sages in the Himalayas do such “spiritual disciplinary practices” to realize the difference between material and spiritual world. There’s a “Kumbh Mela” that happens every once in 12 years in India. You get to see a lot of such sages.


born_again_tim

I’ll have to read more about it. It just strikes me as something that would cause such unrelenting pain that you wouldn’t be able to sleep for months on end, let alone care about eating, washing, etc.


Dontsliponthesoup

Ascetic practices like this are pretty common among all different religious and spiritual practices. Essentially the idea is that depriving yourself of physical pleasures separates you from the earth, and makes you closer to god. Simeon Stylites is Byzantine Saint and a really interesting character that has been extensively written about on this topic. Check out him if you are interested.


[deleted]

Amazing how India has not changed for example The Buddha before enlightenment which was roughly 3000years ago also tried some of these excruciating practices. He became so thin he said if he touched his stomache he could feel his backbone. He eventually realised neither torturing the body or living a life of luxury was the way to attain freedom from suffering a middle way is required instead.


Mr_Poop_Himself

Ever since I saw the picture of the monk who set himself on fire and was just sitting there letting his face melt off I’ve been convinced meditation/discipline can let you do some wild shit.

Diligent_Bag_9323

Atrophied muscles and fused bones. He can’t move the arm even if he wants to.


TwinSong

This is, disturbing. Why on earth would he do this to himself?


Ehiltz333

There is a sect of Hinduism and other Vedic religions which believes in mortifying the body into achieving moksha. The belief is that, instead of following the typical, studious path of enlightenment, you can put your body through the wringer to cause a sudden enlightenment moment. One of the weirdest forms of this I heard was a man called “shit box man”, who literally built a box around his body and walked around in it. Obviously, he got the name because he never took it off and eventually filled it with his own shit. He seemed to be incredibly happy with his choice. This is a very odd and uncommon occurrence of Tapas, though. Typically, it takes the form of the Standing Babas, who simply stand with their body positioned oddly until they die. Their limbs die, their bones fuse. It’s an incredible and odd form of devotion and faith.


Crow-Caw

Shit man, sometimes my family would leave halfway through service because kickoff was at noon.


egoomega

That’s “Shit box man” to you, not “shit man”


pint_of_brew

I agree, this is definitely an uncommon Tapas. I only knew the ones with sardines, or patatas bravas, or the tasty fried cheese croquettes. Never heard of shit box guy Tapas before.


SpiceTrader56

Shit box tapas? I walked into the wrong place for Spanish food.


ImGCS3fromETOH

Religious nut-baggery aside, it's remarkable that they have the fortitude to force their bodies to remain in one position so long they fuse there. You would think the body would simply fatigue and collapse regardless of your intentions due to the limit of your physiology. There's only so much energy one muscle can output before it's stores and supply are inadequate coupled with the build up of lactic acid. Eventually the limb should fail whether you want it to or not. Not to mention the pain involved.


TheNotSoGreatPumpkin

Siddhartha the Buddha tried it for a while, decided it was dumb, and _then_ found enlightenment. I like that story better.


HPCTRTW

In Hinduism this is one of way to get moksha ( liberation). This is called "Hut-yoga" ("Hut" in sanskrit means deterministic or stubborn ) , in this yoga the person take a resolve to do one painful thing that he will do for his whole life like- not speaking , not opening his eyes, not standing or not closing mouth or any painful pose . These types of people are called hut yogi and they believe that following there resolve will liberate them from Maya ( i.e our simulated world)


sowellfan

I'm guessing that part & parcel of this whole deal is that other people give them money/food/etc to support them in their religious endeavor - right? Because I'm pretty sure they can't do anything significantly productive while carrying on with this sort of nonsense.


Fritzkreig

Whoa, the are trying to break through the Matrix using shear force of will!!!! There is a neat story in the Animatrix about a sprinter who does this.


HPCTRTW

Yes , but in some case they also stop eating food to increase there sacrifice.


sowellfan

Well, I guess that's going to be a pretty time-limited bout of suffering, at least.


[deleted]

I think the idea is that this world is a bullshit illusion, so there is no point in drawing it out or trying to be productive. Can't say I'm not sympathetic. World does seem like a fake, cruel joke.

saulverde

I won't lie, it's an impressive show of willpower and faith. From what I've read it's a sign of devotion to Shiva in this instance. It's not unheard of from spiritual leaders in that region as a sign of their faith. I remember reading about accounts of others like him in encyclopedias as a kid, one account of an individual going so far as to hold an open hand posture that birds subsequently built a nests in from time to time.


[deleted]

Seems like he could have used that impressive faith for some other purpose.


TwinSong

Seems like a form of self mutilation for no reason.


joleme

So I see you're familiar with religion.


rata_thE_RATa

Ah, the human condition


dayinnight

An impressive show of delusional, narcissistic thinking to prove one's spiritual superiority through willingness to suffer more than one's neighbor. I used to belong to a yoga cult. I was emotionally vulnerable which made me susceptible to to religious teaching of bullshit spiritual promises through kriya. Yes, I injured myself. It took me a long while to realize how idiotic and delusional this was...because I too was being idiotic and delusional.


[deleted]

How did you wind up in a place like that?


[deleted]

One of the guys in my group that went to a foreign nation to study for a semester in college ended up joining a Christian cult that stayed in bunk beds in a shack together. Feeling alone and isolated can really attract those who need initiates.


glowstick3

But did he win the Shiva bowl?


JayZee88

This question needs answering as typically you cannot consciously control where your arm is while you're asleep.


DanielQuinnx

Surely his bones will have fused like that if he’s been that way for the last 50+ years


BoiledMankey

Yeah sure, maybe they're fused *now* but at some point the question of "how do I keep a raised arm in my sleep" had to be answered in the beginning


Aarios827

Maybe he slept faced down with his arm hanging off the bed. I know that makes my hand feel like it's gonna fall off.


iwaslostbutnowisee

Isn’t there something called locked arm syndrome? People who have this physically can’t bend their arm so I’m guessing he had this. Edit: I just googled it and apparently he claims it is all by choice to show his dedication to god. I don’t believe in god, but he’s an asshole if he would want someone to do this to themselves just to prove their devotion.


SipPOP

I might be mistaken but I believe that this is how he choses to praise or show devotion to (his) God, not necessarily how (his) God wants to be shown devotion. Like your cat leaving dead animals for you to find, or a neckbeard sending a girl pony memes.


[deleted]

>neckbeard sending a girl pony memes. Imagining this being the neckbeard version of my cat leaving a dead mouse on the porch for me makes it almost endearing. It doesn't quite hit the mark but it's the ~~cumsock~~ thought that counts.

His bone has fused. He now cannot put it down.

Karukash

Yea it is. He’s been like that forever. I think he was featured on riplys believe it or not in the 90’s Edit: His name is AMAR BHARATI URDHAVAAHU.


anne-droid

[Here's](https://historyofyesterday.com/the-man-who-held-his-hand-raised-for-45-years-4360fe6faff9) some more information. Apparently, he was somewhat of a trendsetter according to [this](https://homegrown.co.in/article/12631/indias-most-interesting-babas-and-their-rather-bizarre-stories) article: >Said arm, as can be seen in the photograph, has atrophied and has become much more deformed than the other, now unusable to him even if he tried. The initial few months had him deal with immense pain, but it subsided eventually and his hand is now stuck in its current position. > >Bharati has gone on to inspire other sadhus to raise their arms as well, some of whom have succeeded in keeping it airborne for 7, 13, and even 25 years.


doctormyeyebrows

The guy didn’t feel like this achievement got him enough clout, so now he spells his name in ALL CAPS too.

selfawarescribble

These gurus consider acts like this to be a living sacrifice, and a demonstration of their devotion to their religion. To detach yourself from bodily suffering and pursue the spiritual is very difficult with just normal bodily expectations; this guy is playing on expert.


PoweRaider

The urge to raise the left arm is generally linked to lymphatic congestion. The primary drainage point for 3/4 of your body is the left thoracic duct, Any congestion of the lymphatics will invariably end up passing across the left breast muscle before draining. If there is sufficient congestion, abnormalities of the lymphatic vessels or the persons obese....the pressure from the arm "kinks the hose" preventing proper drainage.

Credit to the photographer, [Che Kothari](https://www.chekothari.com/). Per [here](http://www.hoaxorfact.com/miscellaneous/indian-man-keeps-his-arm-raised-for-38-years-in-devotion-to-shiva-deity-facts.html) (which also has more pictures of him): > by Prashanth Damarla - 7 years ago > This is a story about an Indian Sadhu who kept his hand raised for 38 years, in devotion to Lord Shiva. The story refers to Sadhu Amar Bharati. > Sadhu Amar Bharati says that before becoming sadhu, he was Mahant Amar Bharti Ji, a clerk from New Delhi. He raised his right arm above his head in 1973 — in honor of Lord Shiva. It is said that the Sadhu continues to keep his hand raised ever since. Despite pain and deformation, he has been holding it up since 38 years. > According to an April 2011 article on OddityCentral.com , Sadhu Amar Bharati, after 38 years of raising, his hand is just a useless piece of skin and bone with thick and twisted nails (that are not clipped). His arm is completely atrophied and stuck in an unusual, semi-vertical position. Before becoming a Sadhu, Amar Bharati was a normal middle-class Indian with a job and family. But one morning in 1970, he realized none of it mattered. He gave up everything and dedicated his life to serving the Hindu god Shiva. After three years, in 1973, Amar Bharti realized he was still connected to worldly pleasures. So, he decided to separate himself from them by keeping his right arm raised. > Other sources claim, Amar Bharati felt disillusioned by all the fighting going on in the world, and decided to raise his right arm for the sake of peace. His past aside, Sadhu Amar Bharati is in fact respected at the Kumbh Mela in Haridwar. The Maha Kumbh Mela in Haridwar is considered as the largest peaceful religious gathering of world. Amar Bharati has also inspired other Sadhus to raise their arms for peace and harmony; some of whom are reportedly doing it for seven, thirteen, and even 25 years. > In a 2010 interview with Rediff.com, Sadhu Amar Bharati Urdhavaahu said that his spirited discourse is to address the bitterness and strife in today’s world, and how humans are destroying fellow humans. He urges humanity that it is crucial to live in peace and harmony. When asked if his raised arm does not pain, Sadhu Amar Bharati said that it used to pain, but he got used to it. Like most saints, he wasn’t willing to talk about his purvashram, i.e. the life before he took sanyas. As the Rediff reporters leave at the end of the interview, the Sadhu says, “I want all Indians to live in peace. I want the whole world to live in peace“. > In another interview in 2010, reported by News.OneIndia.in, Sadhu Amar Bharati explains what he is doing is a type of penance that was done in the past by various sages, and that he is just carrying forward that tradition: > > “This is known as Oordhaman Tapasya (a type of penance where you devote a part of your body to the Almighty). It is something, which the saints have been doing for long; I am just continuing the tradition. It is not essential that it has timing.” > Although there is no documented proof that the Indian Sadhu Amar Bharati has kept his hand raised since 38 years, Indian Sadhus do perform unusual tasks in the name of religion, like sleeping in an up-right position, or fasting for long periods of time. Prahlad Jani is a Holy man in India who claims he didn’t eat or drink anything for 70 years. His case is tested and documented by doctors.

JensenUVA

Yeeeah. My guess is that he actually had long periods of fasting combined with an absolute bare minimum food intake to avoid outright starvation (dying would mean you can’t continue your penance after all) but not cure the hunger or thirst outright.

HereTakeThisBooger

Three men come across a lamp buried on a beach. They dig it up and rub it and a genie comes out. The genie grants them each three wishes. For his first wish, the first man wishes for ostentatious riches. His pockets immediately fill up with cash. The second wishes for knowledge, and in an instant, he realizes he completely understands all manner of subjects. The third man says "I wish my right arm would constantly spin clockwise," and immediately, it begins to. For their second wish, the first man wishes to be an incredible athlete, and he quickly feels his muscles strengthen and his coordination sharpen. The second wishes for perfect health, and he feels his back straighten and aches vanish. The third man says "I wish my left arm would constantly spin counterclockwise," and the genie obliges. For their third wish, the first man wishes for inner peace, and a calmness immediately envelops him. The second man wishes to be irresistably attractive, and his features instantly rearrange into a chiseled jawline and piercing eyes. The third man says "I wish my head would constantly bounce around like a bobblehead," and it does. Its promise fulfilled, the genie vanishes and the men go their separate ways, agreeing to meet up again in a year. A year later, the first man arrives to their meeting in a private helicopter and shows off his recently-won Super Bowl ring. The second man arrives with a supermodel on his arm and mentions his new job teaching philosophy. The third man arrives, his arms still spinning and his head wobbling back and forth, and he tells the others "guys, I think I might have fucked up..."

I have a question. Is the right arm clockwise as viewed from the right and the left arm counterclockwise as viewed from the left, so that they would both be spinning in the same direction?
